It's not my fault if my whimsical digressions cause visitors to undergo paroxysms of mirth.

Yeah, whatever! Culture is overrated anyway.  Never saw a terror star get stopped by culture.
At the end of the day, the only thing a computer recognises is numbers.

Hmm, gone quiet!
Now either the Fellowship have culturised themselves onto a higher plane, or Sauron's found himself a terror star

Oh, our superior brains allow us to communicate telepathically. We have no need for mere forums.

Aah! Thanks for the explanation, wise one.
Yep, that smiley is working fine!

| hmmm, sounds like the palantir. You guys know that it is a bad thing, right? |
|
Nonsense. My father used a palantir forty times a day, and he lived to be 803. And anyway, I can give it up any time I choose.
| |

|
Sauron was found guilty of running a palantir service provider monopoly, so his operation was broken down into several competing companies (or 'armies of darkness' as they prefer to be known).

|
| the Manwe Anti-Trust Act? |
|
Another excellent example of the kind of obscure reference we have on this page!
| |
|
|
|
| I thought that had been overturned based on Melkor vs Valinor |
|
No, that wasn't the Sauron case. You're thinking of Bill Gates.

I want to get in on the AP Beta action. That means either spending $20 on pre-ordering AP or $35 on Drengin.net. Can anyone talk me into buying Drengin.net? Is there anything in Object Desktop I'd actually use?
| |
|
If you want to experience some graphics and stuff like that, then is worth, plus you get the chance to download the Political machine when it comes out. So go ahead and get drengin you will not be sorry.

No????????????????? Don't you want to enjoy a fun, clean, election process???? (sarcasm) Clean election (/sarcasm)

That is why I said that, can you imagine having grown up people looking for some little holes in a piece of carboard, putting the piece of careboard up to the sky, closing one eye and trying to see if the hole went thru or not, that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Those people were like surgeons in the middle of a heart transplant

The whole electoral process is based on mud sling, calling your oponent names, looking for all those dirty rags, skeletons in the closet, etc, etc. I just heard (open rumor here) that Bush has 11 toes instead of 10 (close rumor here). So that is what a (open sarcasm here) "clean" electoral process is all about (close sarcasm here). Don't you want to experience such a rewarding event????

| all the latest bug fixes and updates to Gal Civ without having to wait for a monthly build to download |
|
I think anyone can get those. (But thanks for the Object Desktop warning.)
That does sound like a pretty reasonable quantity of games for the extra fifteen dollars. Maybe I'll give it a try.

BAH! Sounds like charity to me. When I give charitable donations, I don't give to needy computer games programmers - I am a needy computer games programmer, so I can cut out the middle man by keeping the money. But I'm a kind-hearted soul, so instead I use the money to buy food for homeless shaved kittens, or for some of the many starving orphans I've got locked in my attic.
I was going to post some opinions on the Raven's Claw thread (such as: Real Time Strategy games aren't really 'twitch' games. In many RTS games, you can pause, examine the situation, and then give your troops orders in an organised fashion - the same applies to Baldur's Gate style RPGs.) But by the time I'd finished reading, the topic I was referring to was a hundred posts out of date.
Instead, time for a story. For a change, no alter egos will be used - it improves the reusability. This is a tribute to the unsung heroes of GalCiv - the people who get shoved onto a Combat Transport and sent into battle.
